Abstract

In this paper we continue our investigations of 4-dimensional complexes in [A. Cavicchioli, F.Hegenbarth, F. Spaggiari, Four-dimensional complexes with fundamental class,Mediterr. J. Math. 17 (2020), 175]. We study a class of finite oriented 4-complexes which we call FC4-complexes, defined as follows. An FC4-complex is a 4-dimensional finite oriented CW-complex X with a single 4-cell such that H4(X, ℤ) ≅ ℤ with a fundamental class [X] ∈ H4(X, ℤ). By well-known results ofWall, any Poincaré complex is of this type. We are interested in two questions. First, for which 3-complexes K does an element [φ] ∈ π3(K) exist such that K ∪φ D4 is a Poincaré complex? Second, if there exists one, how many others can be constructed from K? The latter question was addressed studied in the above cited previous paper of the authors. In the present paper we deal with the first problem, and give necessary and sufficient conditions on K and [φ] ∈ π3(K) to satisfy Poincaré duality with ℤ- and Λ-coefficients. Here Λ denotes the integral group ring of π1(K). Before, we give a classification of all FC4-complexes based on the finite 3-complex K, and make some remarks concerning ℤ- and Λ-Poincaré duality.
